What was said around it

years you'd be up over 200% now sure that's certainly not as much as bitcoin's 9000% return in that time frame but that's why I believe a well Diversified portfolio is worth it I like placing a small amount of Bitcoin in something like an ETF where if it goes up great and if it doesn't that would really suck but it's not the end of the world so even though yes markets are high I'm not deterred by the price and I'm just buying in on a consistent basis no matter what like I remember making similar videos addressing the market all-time high six years ago and we'll continually hit new all-time highs as the market and economy grows hopefully I'm just a firm believer of taking a very slow and steady approach that's very consistent and no matter what hitting the like button and subscribing if you have not done that already so thank you guys so much for watching it really means a lot happy New Year happy holidays and until next time
